just saw you were in Houston. See you in November when my coupe gets here!

sales@eurocharged.com

Yes we are! Awesome, would absolutely love to do some work on it for you. Can give you a ride in the shop C63 one day if you'd like!

Thanks

jkob5

Awesome I will take you up on that offer, I haven't even been in one that was broken in and could go over 4k rpms! you're only 15 minutes from my house. Will make the wait until November even worse.

Couple of questions about the tune.

How is it "installed"? Can it be switched back and forth to stock and can the dealer see what's been done for warranty purposes?

sales@eurocharged.com

Sweet! Make sure to call before you stop by one day to make sure the car is here at the shop that day. Yes, it will get you excited hoping November comes more FAST

The tune is installed by removing the ecu and opening it up to get to the "boot pin."

It CAN be switched back and forth between tune and stock but the ecu has to be pulled every time, the dealer will not know.

You make it sound so easy... Why are you misleading your customer? Tell him that the whole front end of the car has to be removed to access the ECU. Be transparent.

sales@eurocharged.com

Not true. We have done quite a few of these and can remove the ECU without removing any parts off the car.

We will provide a free tune to any customer that we have to remove a bumper, fan, or any parts from their car (other than the lower tray).

Here are pictures of the connectors and the front end of the car still attached 100%. Just took these pictures for you.

Guilty

Apologies then. Everyone on here was saying that you either had to drop the transmission or take off the bumper etc.

I'm down to get a Tune, but live in LA.

Dasani

I reckonize that car!

It's my car and I'm at Eurocharged - the front end wasn't touched.

Its okay, the Mercedes removal instructions do say to remove the radiator, but not the bumper. Although, it will squeeze out without removing the radiator. The C63 this morning, once engine was cool down, took less than 1hr to remove the module. Its not extremely difficult.

As far as dropping the transmission, that would be the factory instructions for removing the downpipes. We have written our own instructions for that as well with pictures to where one simple cut on each side will allow to remove the OEM downpipes without dropping the trans.

I am interested in perhaps getting this done as I live in DFW. Do you guys ever come up to the DFW area? Or would I need to bring the car to Houston? What happens when I take it to the dealership for routine service? I'm assuming it will be easily detected when plugged into the dealer's computer?

sales@eurocharged.com

You could stop by one of our dealers for the ecu removal (Autoscope on Denton Dr or Baileys Hyperformance), they can overnight the ecu to us, I will get the tune done same day and overnight back.

When taking in for routine service, you can request for them not to update your software (which will flash over our tune). If it is for warranty work, I would recommend shipping the ecu back here for reflashing back to stock before going into the dealer.

Thanks

Guilty

Any dealers in the LA area?

Guilty

How do you like the tune?

PunjabiM3

Any idea what the cost would be for one of your dealers to remove the ecu each and every time it needs to be sent in? I mean the cost of $1499 for the tune seems reasonable, but then what should one expect on the added labor expenses?

sales@eurocharged.com

Unfortunately all the dealers in CA are in northern Cal, German Autotech, Automotive Sound and Performance

sales@eurocharged.com

Its hard to quote for another shop (hourly rates are different from state to state). Total for removal and reinstall probably 3hrs times hourly labor rate. Plus shipping costs.

AutoTalent

We can provide labor services for you. We are right by LAX and have done plenty of these ECU removals already.

jkob5

planning on dropping by tomorrow, I'll call ahead and make sure you're not busy.

Wish you had someone out in Hawaii.

Any installers/Dealers in the Memphis TN area?

sales@eurocharged.com

Perfect for the LA area!

The car is currently down with the downpipes off, but if you would like to check out the shop feel free to stop by (:

Sorry! If you do find a shop to remove the ecu and send it out to us, let us know and I'll make sure to have it done for you in a timely fashion.

No EC Dealers but I'm sure you can find a reputable shop able to do the work

Chris Estes

Any plans or current operations working for OBD tuning in the near future?

jkob5

thanks for the heads up, I'll wait a bit and see the shop and car together.
